Jurassic World Rebirth takes place after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, on a version of Earth that has been filled with dinosaurs. In the years between the films, most dinosaurs have retreated to some islands near the equator, where the climate is still hospitable for them. A team is sent in to take some DNA from the dinos, in order to help create a potential cure for human heart disease.
